After Action Report
The Pistons handled the Cavaliers 104-91. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; the Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
